Forced to DETOUR My RV Life Content
The other thing that I want to say is I feel like I was forced to create an RV course and these free RV coaching calls. So if you’ve watched a lot of my videos in the past, you probably heard me talk about joining RVersity and taking my course and booking calls with me.
I almost feel. I was forced to detour the way that I posted my content, and wanted to share my RV life with you, and how other RVers have shared their RV life with you, and why everything’s still delayed is because of bad business advice that I received.
Bad Business Advice
I’ve mentioned this in a prior video, I think I titled it, I’m sorry, but even then when I posted that video things weren’t exactly where I wanted them to go and I don’t think they’ll ever be like exactly where you want them to go but this business coach kind of secretly told me in a few words or less….
Kind of sold me on their product is what I feel like, and maybe they didn’t know what their product was at the time, but they told me, oh, you create this course about one thing and you can’t talk about anything else and you really want to share this one thing and how it transformed your life. If you could talk about one thing forever, what would it be?
And I was just like, oh, you know, I guess I’d want to share about my RV life because that’s, you know, what I’m doing right now.
There’s more to me that my RV
But there’s so many other things. There is my dogs and my relationship and this whole thing that I’ve gone through with My child and alcohol and so many other things that you couldn’t put into just RV life and one course and one thing that I want to sell or talk about.
I feel like I was forced to create this RV content around selling an RV course instead of just sharing my RV life and letting people absorb that. That was just the beginning of what I like to call my bumpy ride, but the moral of the story is don’t take bad business advice or business advice from people that are not doing the thing that you want to do.
Be Careful WHO You Listen Too
I travel and move and the person that I took RV Business advice from doesn’t move. They have no plans to travel. They said something like, Oh, when I move, my business is all up in roars, I really don’t move. And also, this person was like, oh, don’t share all about your RV life. You only need to share things that direct people to go buy from you.
So, all of my content, although it teaches people something, I don’t want to say it had an underlying meaning. I just want to say that I always would direct them like, oh, Not just sign up for my email list, but I’d be like, you know, get this download or buy this thing from me, join my course, book a call with me.
And not that you can’t still do some of those things, but that stuff is transitioning. And I just want to tell you that.
What would happen though is, I was taking advice from this person and they weren’t even doing the thing that I wanted to do. They weren’t an RVer, didn’t run like a mobile business, didn’t have a kid, or they didn’t have the same relationship With children and puppies and animals that I did.
Burning Bridges in Life & Business
Plus, I can’t tell you how many relationships I feel like that I burned and lost and I’ll never get back because of this I guess person or bad business advice that I took.
I also wasted a lot of time and gave a lot of my time away for free. This person told me, they didn’t say go do this, but they would literally kind of tell me to plan my RV life around this.
And so I’ll be pulling my RV over, take some phone calls in my RV to sell them on an online RV course. And the calls were FREE!
People sometimes wouldn’t even show up for these calls because they’re free. Why do you show up for something for free? Why do you care? You know, it’s like they book it and they forget that I’m a human being and I have a life and business to run.
So, if it’s ever been you and you didn’t show up for a call or you know, you booked your call with me, you didn’t buy something, just know that I literally took a break from my life to take that phone call with you or to spend that time with you.
Taking Time Away From ME
You know by me taking time even now to make this video for you Just remember that I’m not doing something else.
Either You know I might make some money from people watching this YouTube video if I turn on the ads on it or I might make Some money if somebody goes and clicks on something else that I talk about in this video.
I just want you to know that My whole life does not surround around YouTube…
Getting Sidetracked, Detoured, Delayed…
I feel like I got sidetracked here, but all my content was around booking these calls or selling this course. And then I just kind of, I feel like I pissed my family off. I was just too exhausted sometimes to enjoy even the RV trips that we were on. So it’s like, I’m on this RV trip and I can’t even enjoy it because I’m taking these calls and they’re not booking the course.
And so I’ve taken away time and money from my family and my RV life. for these people that aren’t even gonna buy and people that weren’t even ever planning to buy. It’s like sometimes I feel like people just wasted my time. Not everybody, but some people.
